Today I'm sharing my favourite Australian expressions.
2
These are Australian slang words and phrases that I use in everyday English conversations.
3
By the way, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish and if you didn't already know, I'm also Australian.
4
Today I'm going to cover over thirty common Australian English expressions and we'll practise using them together in a real conversation as well.
5
You and me talking in Australian slang, you'll get to practise speaking Australian English with me.
6
So you're going to see these awesome words and phrases highlighted on screen as we go through a dialogue together and of course, I've made you a free PDF with all of these slang expressions, lots of examples and some extra practice as well so you definitely need to go grab that.

10

12
Although these are obviously hilarious ways to express ourselves, these are not essential for English learners to know and to use.
13
They're not used every day by everyday Australians, often in conversations.
14
The only exception to that is perhaps if you're picking fruit or you're working on a farm or in a factory, you might come across some of this interesting, colourful language a little more often.
15
But in this video today, I want to teach you the Australian slang words and expressions that are used every day, words that you will hear if you visit or live or work in Australia.
16
So first up, let's watch me do the whole dialogue so that you can experience the complete Australian conversation.
17
Make sure you keep an eye out for those slang expressions too.
18
Hey Em! Oh hey Em!

All good, I'm starving.

28
My boss has asked me to do overtime three days in a row now.
29
I mean, I don't mind the extra cash but if he asks me to do it again, I'll tell him he's taking the piss.
30
Yeah, tell him to pull his head in.
31
There's Buckley's chance of that happening!
32
My manager had a crack at me too this week for refusing extra shifts!
33
It was her fault actually.
34
She was the one who stuffed up the roster.
35
I thought you and your boss were tight.
36
We are but she can be a bit of a loose unit, especially when she's on the piss.
37
There you go, wrap your laughing gear around that.
38

Consigli per la pratica

Per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese mentre ascolti le espressioni australiane, ti consiglio di utilizzare la tecnica del shadow speak. Inizia ascoltando il dialogo nella video lezione e cerca di imitare la pronuncia, il ritmo e l'intonazione. Fai attenzione alla velocità della conversazione: l'inglese australiano può essere rapido e colloquiale, quindi non esitare a fermarti e riascoltare le frasi che ti sembrano difficili.

Puoi esercitarti anche con il shadowing in inglese: ripeti immediatamente dopo aver ascoltato ogni frase, cercando di mantenere la stessa enfasi e tono. Questo ti aiuterà non solo a migliorare la tua fluidità, ma anche a fare tue queste espressioni slang. Ricorda che la pratica rende perfetti e più pratichi, migliore sarà la tua pronuncia inglese, quindi divertiti e goditi l’esperienza di parlare come un vero australiano!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
